ABSTRACT
The experimental setup consists of a 100 × 50 cm incline, immersed in a 200 × 50 × 50 cm flume filled with fresh water mixed with fine particles. Once the powder has settled, a layer is slowly raked upward on the incline to drape it by a uniform sediment blanket. Then, a sustained gravity current is injected at the top of the ramp and flows over this erodible bed. We control the three main parameters of the experiment: the slope of the plane, the input flow rate, and the input flow specific gravity.
